Handling Dynamic Elements in Web Automation Testing
Modern web applications heavily rely on JavaScript for dynamic content loading. Elements might not be immediately available when the page loads, causing automation tests to fail if they interact with elements before they appear. To handle this, waiting strategies are essential. In this blog, we will cover:✅ Why waiting for elements is necessary✅ Different types […]
Integrating Pytest into a CI/CD Pipeline
Automating tests using Pytest in a CI/CD pipeline ensures that every code change is validated before deployment. By integrating Pytest into CI/CD, you can:✅ Detect bugs early✅ Maintain software stability✅ Enforce quality control automatically In this guide, we’ll explore:1️⃣ Setting up Pytest in a CI/CD pipeline2️⃣ Running tests in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, and Jenkins3️⃣ […]
API Versioning Strategies: Ensuring Compatibility in Evolving APIs
APIs evolve over time as businesses introduce new features, optimize performance, or fix bugs. However, changes to an API can break existing clients, leading to service disruptions. API versioning allows API providers to introduce changes without breaking existing consumers by offering multiple versions of an API. In this blog, we’ll explore:✅ What API versioning is […]
Contract Testing with API Stubs in Pytest
In modern software development, applications often rely on external APIs or microservices to function. Ensuring that these integrations work correctly while maintaining flexibility requires contract testing. Contract testing validates that API consumers and providers adhere to predefined agreements, preventing breaking changes in distributed systems. In this blog, we’ll cover: What contract testing is and why […]
Integration Testing with Real API Stubbing in Pytest
Integration testing ensures that different parts of an application work together as expected. When an application interacts with external services, real API calls can slow down tests, introduce dependencies, and make the testing process unreliable. To mitigate these issues while keeping tests close to real-world scenarios, API stubbing is used. In this blog, we’ll cover: […]
Mocking External Services in Pytest
Scenario: Mocking an API Call in Pytest Let’s assume we have a function get_weather_data() that fetches weather details from an external API using the requests library. Since requests.get() makes an actual network call, we need to mock it in our tests. Using Pytest’s monkeypatch to Mock API Calls Breakdown: We define mock_requests_get() to return a […]
